Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

  1. Aspen Global Innovators Group

Telemedicine was already a necessity for many health care providers working with patients in post-conflict zones. We’re now seeing developed nations adopting telemedicine approaches in a COVID world. What can tech innovators and medical leaders working in developing settings teach us about telemedicine practices?  Dr. Mohamed Aburawi, Founder of Speetar Health, and Dr. Wendy Matos, Director of Telemedicine, Puerto Rico Public Health Trust, sat in conversation with Daniel Kroft, Faculty Chair of Medicine at Singularity University, about their experience with telemedicine and shifts we’re seeing now.
